SBOM Quality: We Need More Than a Simple “SBOM Button” for Compliance - Ayan Sinha Mahapatra, NexB

Tuesday August 5, 2025 11:00am - 11:25am IST

Hall 6

India, US, EU, and other governments introduced cybersecurity regulations for anyone distributing software. Any software maintainer, contributor, and developer, needs to be aware of their software dependencies and any associated risk (vulnerabilities, licensing issues, unmaintained software, unknown origin), and how to efficiently manage these software components. This is most often – and now regulated – with SBOMs.

Zero-Trust Containers: Rethinking Security in the Age of Ephemeral Workloads - Unnati Mishra, VMware by Broadcom & Akshat Khanna, Angel One

Tuesday August 5, 2025 11:35am - 12:00pm IST

Hall 6

Container security approaches often focus heavily on image scanning while neglecting runtime protection, creating dangerous blind spots in cloud native architectures. Organizations deploy seemingly secure containers only to discover exploits targeting runtime vulnerabilities that bypass static analysis entirely. Our talk introduces a comprehensive defense-in-depth strategy that combines supply chain validation, admission controls, and runtime behavior analysis to detect and prevent sophisticated attacks. We'll demonstrate real-world attack patterns and how open source toolkits like Falco, SPIFFE, and AppArmor can be used for runtime protection, focusing on workload attestation and behavioral fingerprinting techniques that traditional security scanners often miss.

Auto-instrumenting Native (C++ and Rust) Applications Using eBPF and OpenTelemetry - Lalit Kumar Bhasin, Microsoft

Tuesday August 5, 2025 2:50pm - 3:15pm IST

Auto-instrumentation for native applications—especially in C++ and Rust—is one of the toughest challenges in observability. Unlike managed languages like Java that provide runtimes with built-in instrumentation hooks, or languages like Go that offer limited runtime metadata, native applications expose no dynamic introspection or tracing facilities. This makes traditional approaches ineffective or invasive.

OPEA: Lowering GenAI Adoption Barriers - Malini Bhandaru, Intel

Tuesday August 5, 2025 4:05pm - 4:30pm IST

Hall 6

Enterprise adoption of GenAI, to unlock its full potential is hindered by costs and a talent gap which needs to span AI and Cloud technologies. The Open Platform for Enterprise AI seeks to democratize AI, filling a talent gap and illustrating that one can deliver low latency edge solutions and cost-effective cloud solutions using a variety of hardware. Towards this, OPEA brings together state of the art models, containerized microservices for guardrails, vector databases, model servers and more, easily customizable blueprints for common use cases such as Chat Bots, Document Summarization, Agents to name a few, a no-code/low-code studio to create GenAI pipelines, cloud deployment and evaluation tooling. OPEA currently supports Intel, AMD, and Nvidia hardware and can be deployed in the cloud, on-prem, or on a shrink-wrapped appliance. It integrates with identity and authentication systems and includes tooling for monitoring and visualization, which enable delivering enterprise grade applications, accelerating transition from proof-of-concept to production. Come learn about OPEA, use it, influence it, make your mark on democratizing GenAI.

Secrets of the Ratchets - Devi Prasad, Manipal University

Tuesday August 5, 2025 4:05pm - 4:30pm IST

Hall 1

In this talk, we will explore the Signal messaging system's implementation of the PQXDH (Post-Quantum Extended Diffie-Hellman) Key Agreement Protocol, which establishes a shared secret key between two parties. PQXDH facilitates mutual authentication while preserving cryptographic deniability. We will discuss how PQXDH ensures both privacy and forward secrecy, all while maintaining a protocol design that is straightforward and intuitive. Additionally, we will examine how Signal leverages NIST-approved Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) algorithms and Key Encapsulation Mechanisms (KEMs) in the implementation of PQXDH.
